Oh sure, I've worked with the public before. I've worked in food service (Remember that place Amanda? Western Choice?). I was a claims adjuster for one of the fourth largest automobile insurance companies in the U.S. And I pretended to be a real estate agent for about 1.5 years before I realized that I'm not cut out for that kind of work. So, working in the public sector is not that foreign to me.
However, I've never really worked for myself... where I collect 100% of the profits. I must admit, I'm really enjoying my side venture and it's nice having a little extra money in my account. I'm not bank rolling cash hand over fist, but it's enough money to keep things interesting. So, I press along each day... serving my customers to the best of my ability.
I've had extremely good experiences dealing with the public. I've had referral business and repeat customers. It's so satisfying getting a glowing response from a customer when they receive their invitations.
In the course of a year, since I've been selling photo invitations, I can only recall three bad experiences. Unfortunately, two of them has occurred within the last month.
What I don't understand is how people can live with themselves when they've deliberately lied to me and/or stole from me. It's appalling and it just really disappoints me. I'm not disappointed at the loss of the transaction or the monetary value of it... I'm disappointed that people think they are getting away with something. Because, really, they aren't. I may be blond, but I'm not stupid...
I'm honest almost to the point of gullibility. I'm that girl in the in the check-out line at the craft store and who corrects the checkout girl when she counts out 5 pages of $.20 craft paper, instead of 6.
So, I set out to test my gullibility. I found The Gullibility Factor test to test my gullible nature.
Here are my results! Surprisingly, my score was 85.
I am a:
Free Thinker
Welcome to the top 5%. You're a true free thinker and a person who is well informed about the reality in which you live. Although you may have been easily manipulated earlier in life, you eventually gained lucidity and developed a healthy sense of skepticism that you now automatically apply to your observations and experiences. You are endlessly curious about human behavior and the nature of the universe, and you have one or more lifestyle habits that most people would consider odd or unusual. You are not only of very high intelligence, you are also extremely creative in one or more areas (music, art, software development, inventing, etc.)
If you were in The Matrix, you would have taken the red pill, completed the combat training, and started fighting (and beating) agents from day one.
So, there ya have it folks. I'm not gullible, at least according to Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, primary author at NewsTarget.com
What's your gullibility factor?
